Vrat ka Paneer Pakoda- Vrat special Crisp fritters made with Rajgiri flour and paneer slices

Vrat ka paneer pakoda- During Navaratri is celebrated in most of the parts of India. Dandiya raas or Garba dance also take place during Navaratri festival. In the state of Gujarat Dandiya raas is an integral part of Navaratri festival. But now the garba fever is spread all over India and even overseas too. Here in Dubai garba is celebrated in many hotels, publc grounds , parks and in some private villas, popular Dj’s and singers came from India and people participate with so much enthusiasm .

People fast during Navaratri and need different recipes to try every day specially if the youngsters are fasting then get bored of the routine wali aloo sabzi and poori and parathas. They need some thing interesting and delicious to snack .

These vrat ke paneer pakoda are super easy to make and are so crisp and delicious. I made an easy quick batter from rajgiri flour and the basic spices and then dipped the marinated panner slices in it and deep fried. These paneer pakoda can be served with vrat ki green chutney and Aam papad ki chutney.
